    This is well-said, Jim. In addition, the OT shows, as I have mentioned elsewhere here, that God does "new things" (Cp. Isaiah 43.18-19). The record of the whole Bible is of God breaking into the lives of God's people and turning their expectations upside down. Why not here also? My concern, as I have also mentioned elsewhere, is that many here are using scripture to limit God. I think that this is a dangerous course, and I would remind them that the warning of Gamaliel in Acts 5.34-39 still holds true.

    When God changes His word, then I'll "adjust".

    By the way, I have yet to see a woman "pastor" who was not in error on one or more significant doctrines.

    How do we use God's own Word to limit Him? Does He not speak His heart? Is not the Scriptures God's own word to us? Scripture is clear, it is God who limits the church - not the other way around.

    You bet I would just add that if it is new it is not true and if it is true it is not new.

    God does not do new things that go against His word. We had a thread on women pastors not long ago and no one was able to refute the biblical passages that teach women should not be pastors.

    They all grew up Baptist. Debra is now a Methodist minister in South Carolina. Melanie is a pastor in Decatur, GA. Lina is a professor in Prague and I assume y'all know Molly Marshall.

    You know what they say, "Baptist seminaries turn out the best Methodist women ministers.

    I've never heard of any of those women. Those baptist seminaries are a shame then.

    None of the women should be pastors.

    Maybe you should check out what God is doing with the smart God fearing, God following women of our generation.

    Molly Marshall lead devotions at a conference I attended. She was amazing with her insights.

    As one of them told me, "I grew up in a Baptist church where they told me I could be anything that God called me to be. When I told them God was calling me to the ministry they said, 'Oh, we didn't mean that. We meant God can use you anywhere he calls you except the ministry.' "

    You would not have heard of Lina. She is a professor at the International Baptist Theological Seminary [IBTS] in Prague. Lina is Lithuanian and has a double major in English and Theology from Lithuanian Christian College as well as a masters degree from IBTS. She has an amazing mind and is completing her Ph.D. as well as teaching. She is a co-author of, Anabaptist and Mission.

    The Bible teaches these women not be pastors. They are rebels. End of story.

    I am not going to argue with you. However experience will never back down to argument.

    I have found these ministers superior to almost any male minister I have known. Frankly, I believe that is one reason so many men are against women in ministry, they fear they cannot measure up. That is most gently said.

    What is the major difference that I have noticed between men and women ministers. Many male ministers have a superiority complex. Humility has not been found, in my experience, among most male ministers. I have not found these traits among women ministers that I have known.
